    The dimensions of the window are (x + 10) and (x + 10).

    To get this answer, we have to look for 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us the given polynomial. We know the form of the numbers, they are x + a and x + b.

    If you multiply (x + 10) times (x + 10), you get the polynomial x^2 + 20x + 100.

    The expression that represents the width and length of the square is (x+10).

    We factor this expression to find the dimensions. We want factors of 100 that sum to 20; 10 (10) = 100 and 10+10=20. This gives us

    (x+10) (x+10).
